Forbes Travel Guide performs independent, incognito inspections of all hotels we rate. This is what we paid when we stayed at this hotel.

Rates can vary widely by room type and season. "We Paid" is intended to give a general sense of price, but you might find considerably different rates for your trip.

When we book, we aim for the optimum season for the destination, but we avoid holidays and major public events, when prices are highest. We generally book a room at one category up from the most basic.

We take advantage of promotional rates, when possible. That means the rate you see above might have included other benefits, such as spa or meal credits.

Glitretind Restaurant

We are the only independent, global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants and spas.

We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.

We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.

Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.

While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.

We created the original Five-Star rating system in 1958, when we were Mobil Travel Guide.

Five-StarThese are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.

Four-StarThese are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.

RecommendedThese are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

The celebrated Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star Stein Eriksen Lodge claims not only the most impressive of views of the Wasatch Mountains but one of the most lauded restaurants in Utah as well.

Located within the lauded Park City hotel, Glitretind Restaurant does not disappoint. You may be coming to the mountains to ski, but you shouldn’t leave without having a meal at this prestigious hotspot.

This warm and romantic Four-Star eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. After you work up an appetite on the slopes, head to the luxury Park City restaurant to order a hearty meal like the buffalo flank steak and Brown Gulf shrimp, grits, grilled sweet potatoes and chimichurri sauce or the Kobe pot roast with vegetables, creamed potatoes and horseradish.

The wine selection is also impressive. Managed by sommelier Cara Schwindt, the restaurant's selection houses more than 350 types of wine that total more than 8,000 bottles.

Our Inspector's Highlights

• Glitretind is Norwegian for “shimmering mountain.” The name is fitting — the dining room looks out on the snowy mountain in Utah’s Wasatch range.

• Ask to sit near a window. You can watch skiers make their way down the slopes in the winter, and in the summer the patio lets you take in the fresh mountain air.

• With a backdrop of striking alpine views and rustic fireplaces, the menu at Glitretind offers regional American cuisine, focusing on meat, fresh seafood and locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant’s menu of hearty fare changes completely twice a year.

• The luxury Park City restaurant's servers are patient and willing to make substitutions to make you happy — especially if you have food allergies. When delivering dishes to your table, waitstaff will introduce the ingredients and preparation before leaving you to enjoy.

• The luxury Park City restaurant offers more than 750 different wines, ranging from local to international varietals. If you need help making a selection from the 10,000 bottle cellar, just ask sommelier Cara Schwindt.

• Main courses are mostly fish and meat dishes such as a Rocky Mountain elk tenderloin served with Tuscan kale, cranberry chutney and potato purée or Pacific black cod served with parsnip purée, fennel and citrus oil.

• You should always be able to find one vegetarian offering, too — we recently tried the pinot noir risotto with local feta cheese.

• The Four-Star restaurant's dessert menu includes a selection of whimsical treats including s’mores (made with graham crackers semifreddo, house-made marshmallows, hot fudge and cinnamon-graham streusel) or an indulgent assortment of house-made chocolates.
